rlch: "One of the best guys, who actually is 45, & looking for someone 36-45! (I am 39) Whoo hoo, lol, e'd me tonite. Seemed nice, relaxed, casual. Is 45. 2 grown kids (says he doesnt want more kids, but what the heck, maybe he will meet ME & want to procreate again, lol),:
rlch, I really wasn't going to post anything, because I don't want people accusing me of being a troublemaker, but here goes...
Is the baby issue a deal breaker for you? If it is, why even waste your time. I just had a conversation with the man I'm currently dating and he told me about his last gf, and how she stood in the kitchen and cried when he told her he "din't want to have kids". He told me that he told her that upfront and he couldn't understand her reaction because he hadn't changed...
Good call on shaking it up and trying something new. It's a way to try and "break out of a rut".
Good luck with the guy... hopefully he lied about his height and is actually TALLER! :)
Sounds awesome. I am sure some interesting new propsects will come of this. Let's hope they don't harken you, lol!
PS--You have to admit you are a little relieved not to have to go out with the harkener. I have a feeling you'd have not been that into HIM. He just saved you the trouble.
Have an awesome night : )

Yeah, maybe he didnt want to appear "too tall"!!! lol
You are my hero! I love your fearlessness. And you know what - you really have NOTHING to lose!!! I hope it turns out really well for you!
Keep us posted! I love your stories :)
Wanted to jump in on the height thing just because I've learned something. After dating a few guys that were shorter than me, I went through this phase where I refused (and I mean REFUSED) to date guys who were shorter than me or even close to my height (5' 9"). Well guess who walked into my life? LOL! A guy who I got to know, fell in love with and yet is a little shorter than me when we're both barefoot. So when I wear heels, I am taller than him. My point? At the end of the day, does height really really matter?
Now on a different note, I do find guys tend to inflate their height a little bit. And I apologize to the men on the board if that's not the case with you, but in my experience every guy I met via OLD that was just average height added an inch or 2.
I totally agree with you that there always IS that possibility that someone shorter than me COULD be "the one".

I have to say I agree with you about the height thing... I've definitely noticed that guys tend to inflate their height on their profiles. I remember last summer I went out with a guy who said he was 5'7" on his profile (I prefer tall men, of course), but I went out with him anyway because he was supposed to be one inch taller than me since I'm 5'6". I even made sure to wear flats on the date. But, when we actually met, he was definitely no more than 5'5"! I was disappointed... I mean, I know height isn't everything, but I felt like a giant and just couldn't get past it.
On the revers of that, my last bf was 6'4"! I loved it... I think our relationship went on for probably a year more than it should have based mostly on his height, hahaha... oh well!
Oh, oh... not to bring size into another of your posts Rebecca, but I can't resist sharing this little story...ha!
